holds up a lighter

Sure, I'll mention it to @jminer in case he misses this. What platform...Android? iOS?

@musashi66 ugh, both of them are far from me. I'll use the local ranges for handguns and keep those in mind if I want to shoot rifles.

@rallydarkstrike being I'm already here (and will be until at least January...), I'm looking at adding switches so I can swap monitors at will.

Sounds good! I use few KVM switches and switches on my workstation downstairs for my computer repair side gig 🙂

Damn you all to hell!

@sn4cktimes Same here. I didn't have anything worth saving but I would have liked to peruse the last shit posts that went up. Instead all of that quality shit will be lost in time, like tears in rain

@mocamino Yep, another strong virile self-made success story who likely whines about others being triggered who probably had a conniption fit when he learned he was being mocked.

@xsnowpig Does anyone know who actually was the last one to make a post?

@jminer safari on iOS. It seems like it has some “threshold” amount of zoom before it happens. Pretty much right at the point the image breaks across the border of the screen. If that makes sense

@hooker I’m getting all the use out of this gif I can then I’ll make a new one for the occasional usage.

End of an era...

@italia FF. I think that's exactly what you're seeing-it tests way sharper than the canon/nikon prime 14mms (though if you have a 14-24mm I know those are outstanding) but running distortion correction inherently dulls the corners as you'd expect.

@maximaspeed said in MaximaSpeed requesting landing clearance at the Hyphen:

@davesaddiction yes, very much so. It feels so much like a memory of oppo as it once was years ago and i feel instantly at home.

@jminer This might be the best compliment yet.

@daswauto hmm Ill have to try and stay in the loop on those

@cobrajoe I knew there was a reason I disliked that guy.

Ooo I forgot about that one. I think I first heard it on the NPR Tiny desk concert series.

@engineerwithtools Yeah, I imagine he did not. I've never bought a Snap On tool, but I know they aren't cheap.

To be clear - he did not charge me for the tool, and he was genuinely excited to have whatever the new tool is.

@bwp240 Clever indeed

@scary yeah! We need more Fiesta ST drivers

@jcarr I still gotta put my snows on. I’ve still been daily driving the bike so I just haven’t brothered to do anything with my car.

@ttyymmnn Amen! 😄

@rallydarkstrike
My impression from the start was they just wanted the sub-blogs gone... just because that’s what upper management wanted.
Blaming it on the potential legal liability would only hold water if it was done after the legal changes went through.
In my view, blaming it on legal liability was always a bullshit cover story so they could do this without pissing off their readers.

I’ve seen this bullshit “we can’t do it because of the legal liability” before.
Reminds me a bit of the “we have to crush all these EV1 electric cars because of the liability” bullshit GM pulled back in the early 2000s.
That was also a case of management just wanting something done to meet their less-than-honourable objectives of fighting the ZEV mandate and using “legal liability” as the bullshit excuse.

That situation boiled my blood as much as this one.

And they don’t realize that by doing shit like this causes management to go from “hero to zero” in no time... and it’s very hard to recover the company reputation after pulling shit like that.

I still have a fantasy of somehow acquiring one of the surviving GM EV1 cars, buying the necessary ports to re-enable it (which I think can be sourced from a company called AC Propulsion) and then drive it and park it in from of GM’s headquarters.
